Golden Field Flooring Melbourne | Range Guide

If you have searched for Golden Field, you already know the brand. What you probably want to know is simpler: what does Alpha actually stock, and which range suits my room?

This guide answers both from our own shelves. Eight ranges, five floor types, and what each one is good for.

Who Golden Field is#

Golden Field is an Australian flooring supplier. Their own site is at goldenfieldflooring.com.au if you want to read about the company directly.

What matters here is the shape of their range. They are not a huge catalogue brand — eight ranges with us, against thirty-two from our largest supplier. But they cover five different floor types, which means one brand can run through a house where the bedrooms, the kitchen and the hallway all want something different.

What Alpha carries, across five floor types#

Laminate — 3 ranges, 22 colours
Engineered timber — 2 ranges, 9 colours
Hybrid — 1 range, 7 colours
Bamboo — 1 range, 4 colours
Hybrid herringbone — 1 range, 3 colours

Eight ranges, 45 colours. Laminate is where the real choice is, and that is where most Golden Field conversations end up.

Laminate: three ranges, including Relax#

Relax Flooring — 8 colours, a 12mm board rated AC3 with a satin texture finish and a 2G drop-lock join. This is the range Melbourne customers ask about by name more than any other Golden Field line. The colours run through the familiar Australian timber looks — Spotted Gum, Tas Oak, Jarrah, Blackbutt-style oaks — which is why it suits a house that already has timber elsewhere and needs the new floor to sit alongside it.
Super Natural Classic — 8 colours, an 8mm board rated AC4
Bordeaux 2.2 — 6 colours, a 12mm board rated AC3

The AC rating is the number to look at, and it is the one thing people miss when comparing laminate. It measures how well the surface resists wear. AC3 is rated for heavy household traffic; AC4 is a step up, into light commercial use. So Super Natural Classic is the harder surface of the three despite being the thinner board, and Relax and Bordeaux 2.2 are the thicker boards at 12mm, which feels more solid underfoot.

Thickness and hardness are not the same thing. If the floor is going in a hallway with a dog and a pram, the AC rating matters more than the millimetres.

Where laminate suits: bedrooms, hallways, living areas, rentals and investment properties. It takes knocks, costs less than engineered timber, and modern printing makes it hard to pick at a glance. Our investor's guide covers what holds up between tenancies.

Hybrid: LSPC, and the herringbone version#

LSPC — 7 colours. A 10mm wide plank at 1830 × 230mm, with a 0.5mm wear layer and 2.0mm EVA backing already attached to the board.
LSPC Herringbone — 3 colours

The attached backing is worth understanding. Because the acoustic layer is bonded to the plank, you do not lay a separate underlay beneath it — and you should not add one. Stacking a second underlay under a pre-attached board changes how the floor performs acoustically, which in an apartment with a sound requirement is the detail that decides whether it passes.

Hybrid is the waterproof option. SPC in the name refers to the stone-based core, which is the hard, dimensionally stable kind — it handles temperature swings and standing water better than a timber-based core does.

Where hybrid suits: kitchens, laundries, bathrooms, and homes with young children or pets. Our guide to waterproof flooring for bathrooms and kitchens compares the options properly.

The herringbone version is worth knowing about if you want the angled parquet pattern in a wet area. Real timber herringbone cannot go in a bathroom; this can. Our chevron and herringbone guide explains the patterns and the difference between them.

Engineered and bamboo: the smaller lines#

Australian & Exotic Species — 6 colours, a 13.5mm board with a 5G join
Duke — 3 colours, and the thickest board Golden Field make at 15mm, in a long 2200 × 240mm plank with a 4mm real-timber wear layer
Bamboo Flooring Collection — 4 colours, 14mm strand-woven

Engineered timber gives you real wood underfoot with better stability than a solid board in Melbourne's humidity swings. Nine colours across two ranges is a narrow choice, so if colour matching matters, our wider engineered ranges from other brands are worth comparing.

Bamboo is the one people overlook. It is a fast-growing, hard-wearing timber alternative, and strand-woven bamboo in particular is harder than many hardwoods. Four colours is a small choice, but if bamboo is what you are after, this is where to start.

How to choose between them#

A short way through eight ranges:

Does the room get wet? LSPC. Or LSPC Herringbone if you want the pattern.
Matching existing Australian timber? Relax Flooring — its colours are built for that.
Want real wood underfoot? Australian & Exotic Species, then Duke.
Budget is the main constraint? Any of the three laminates; Relax and Super Natural Classic both give you 8 colours.
Want something different? The bamboo.
Want the widest colour choice in the house? Golden Field's 45 colours is a modest range. Ask us what else we hold — being honest, other brands on our floor run far wider.

On prices: they are on the individual range pages, not here. Each range is priced by colour, format and the size of the job, so one number in a guide would mislead you. Follow any link above, or ask us for a written quote.

See Golden Field at our Docklands showroom#

Laminate and bamboo both photograph differently from how they look in a room under your own light — and with laminate in particular, the print quality is something you judge by eye, up close, not from a screen.

Our showroom is at 351 Docklands Dr, Docklands VIC 3008, open Monday to Saturday 9am–5pm. Bring your room measurements and anything you are colour-matching to.
